Daily NYC construction leads for specialty trades
Yesterday's permits in your trade, in your inbox before coffee.
Precon Wire watches NYC construction permit filings in your trade lanes and delivers the ones that matter each morning: the address, the building owner, the job value, a plain-English summary, and a ready-to-send outreach opener. The edge is early awareness: you see active projects, owner moves, and contractor activity while the iron is hot, instead of finding out weeks later.
14-day free trial, card required, $0 due today. One lane $99/mo, all lanes $249/mo.
What you get every morning
Yesterday's permits, filtered
Permits published by the city in your trade lanes, pulled from NYC Open Data each morning and filtered to what you do.
The details that matter
Job address, building owner, reported job value, and the contractor named on the permit. That is your intel before the first call.
Plain-English summaries
No permit-code gibberish. Each lead comes with a short summary written in normal language.
Why this lead, plus an opener
Each lead gets a one-line "why this lead matters" and a suggested outreach opener, so you can act instead of thinking.
Two honest ways to use it
Not every permit is an open bid. Many permits name the contractor already on the job. Precon Wire is useful in two distinct ways, and we label which is which:
Available work
Scopes where a purchasing decision may still be open: a related trade, a future phase, or an owner with more buildings. We say so only when the record supports it.
Account intelligence
Early awareness of who is active: which owners are spending, which contractors are winning, which buildings are in motion. The value is timing and relationships, not exclusives.
A real sample lead
This is a historical example, built from an actual NYC permit record. It shows exactly what a lead card contains, including the honest limits: the permit names the contractor on the job.
274 E 198th St, Bronx, NY 10458
- Job application
- X01445414-I1, filed Sep 29, 2026, approved Sep 30, 2026
- Work permit
- X01445414-I1-BE, boiler permit issued Oct 2, 2026
- Related permit
- Plumbing permit for gas piping and meter issued Oct 5, 2026
- Owner
- Benenson Real Estate
- Reported job cost
- $190,000 (an administrative estimate from the filing, not confirmed contract value)
- Permit applicant
- CAM Energy Heating & Mechanical (the trade contractor named on the permit)
- Work
- Replace boiler and oil burner with a new boiler and gas/oil burner
Why this lead matters: the permit names the contractor on the job, so this is account intelligence, not an open bid. A $190,000 boiler project at a large portfolio owner, with the installer and the timeline visible.
How a subscriber might use it: track this owner's other buildings for upcoming work, or note which contractors are winning boiler jobs in the Bronx, instead of chasing a job that is already assigned.

Built for trade shops, priced like it
The national tools serve subcontractors as well as GCs and estimators, and they do more than a permit digest: documents, bid boards, project stages. Precon Wire does one thing: a daily NYC permit digest filtered to your trade lane, at a price built for small shops.
| Tool | Typical price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| ConstructConnect | Professional from $199/seat/mo (annual contract) | National project intelligence, broader workflow |
| PlanHub | Subcontractor Premier $1,999/yr (50-mile radius) | National, bidding-focused |
| Dodge | Custom pricing (no published price list) | National construction data |
| Precon Wire | $99/mo per lane · $249/mo all lanes | Daily NYC permit digest by trade lane |
Competitor prices checked Oct 2026 against each vendor's published offers. Prices as of Oct 2026 and subject to change. ConstructConnect Professional requires an annual contract; Precon Wire bills month-to-month. PlanHub pricing shown is for a 50-mile radius; service area and feature scope differ across vendors.
693 distinct initial work permits in the week of Sep 29 to Oct 5, 2026, across the boiler, sprinkler, HVAC, and plumbing lanes. Counting method: distinct work-permit identifiers from NYC Open Data, DOB NOW Build-Approved Permits (dataset rbx6-tga4), initial permits only, renewals excluded, multi-trade permits counted once. Snapshot retrieved October 7, 2026 (dataset rows updated October 6, 2026). One week is not a typical week, and a permit is not an unawarded contract: most issued trade permits already name the selected contractor.

FAQ
Is this data exclusive?
No, and we will not pretend it is. NYC permits are public records. The edge is speed, filtering, and packaging: you get them day one, in your lane, with a summary and an opener, instead of digging through the city's database yourself.
How fast do leads arrive?
The city publishes permits daily. The feed pulls them every morning, so you get the newest available filings before the workday starts. On quiet days (weekends, holidays, or days the city publishes late) the digest says so instead of inventing leads.
How do I pick my lanes?
Each lane has its own checkout in the pricing section above. Pick the lane you want and check out; the feed you get matches the lane you chose. Switch lanes anytime by contacting support.
How does the 14-day trial work?
You get the full daily feed for 14 days. Your card is collected at signup through Stripe, $0 is due today, and the first charge happens 14 days after signup. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
Does each lead include contact info for the owner?
Each lead includes the owner name and company, the job address, and the reported job value. Owner phone and email are not in public permit data, so you do outreach your usual way. Contact enrichment is on the roadmap.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. Email hello@preconwire.com to cancel. You keep access through the end of your billing period, and you are not charged again.
